WhatsApp Marketing for Hotels in Latin America: A Complete Guide

Latin America is the world's most WhatsApp-friendly hotel market. Guests in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina don't just prefer WhatsApp — they expect it. Booking confirmations, concierge requests, room service orders, and post-stay follow-ups all happen naturally via WhatsApp.
